CaaAidats-Ri.sins Resslutions.
Tammany Hall ratified the Democratic
nominees for State and county oflces last
night In ono Of the biggest political meetings
ever held In this city. There was not much
tinsel to It, but there was sincere enthusiasm.
Sturdy old Tammany Hall seemed to shake
with the cheers that rose almost continually.
The fiaring electric lights that bordered its
front on Fourteenth street. the waving flags Of
every nation that hung in front OF It,
and tho big wooden structure that was
built near its doors to accommodate the
overflow. were few features Of the occasion.
A gayly uniformed band and fireworks were
on hand. too. but the most significant feature
Of all was the mass OF men that crowded into
tho big hall There were no college students
there. but every one Of the thousands who re-
NAMED during nearly three hours Of the hot
test kind Of campaign speeohmaking was
voter. and he was there to pledge himself to
Col John R. Fellows. Tho issue turned upon
the District Attorneyship early In the evening,
and Il olung there tenaciously. Every mention
Of the World was Missed.
There was not standing room. The aisles were
20 densely packed that nothing could be seen
but faces. The galleries were crowded to suffo-
cation, and tho private boxes on the sides were
filed. The cornered band tried to do its duty
and succeeded In playing some patriotic airs
but the crowd flowed over It at times and
drowned out the music Junk Shop Pulitzer
wss not there, and the golden opportunity Of
bis life to get into good Democratic society
slipped through his fingers.
When some Of the big men appeared upon
the platform at O'Clock they were welcomed
With yells and cheers. A little table that was
severed with an American flag was pushed up
hsar tho front Of the platform and the meeting
waited for O'Clock. Gen. John Cochrane
called the meeting to order. and nominated the
Hon. 8. 8. Cox as its Chairman In these words:
He IL gentleman Of wide reputation, an
orator. diplomatist, and statesman. Inom-
mate as your Chairman the Hon. Samuel 8.
Cox"
Mr.. Cox Il not large man physically. but he
10 . bold one, and he stepped bravely forth in
tho face Of tho widest kind of enthusiasm.
His name went to the hearts OF the people and
mon choered him at intervals all night. A
strong-lunged man near the platform struggled
TO his feet and yelled wildly for John R. Fellows.
II am Chairman here" said Mr.. Cox. laying
his hand upon his heart and bowling. Every
thing was quiet in q moment and Mr.. Cox said:
II beg to say this in advance: The people
who are now assembled have their work to do
before Tuesday. It In not work for this year:
Il Ii Q work for next year also. Tho fight We
make between now and next Tuesday runs
